NECKTIE HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 28, 1922.

Application filed September 6, 1917. Serial No. 189,997.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LAWRENCE VALUOH, citizen of Austria, residin at Baltimore, in the county of Baltimore ity and State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necktie Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in necktie holders.

The object of this invention is to provide a holder about which a tie is adapted to be formed in the usual four-in-hand knot, and the holder supporting the tie in this position, permitting the same to be readily and quickly attached to the collar button and position the same properly within the collar.

A still further object of this invention is to provide a necktie holder or former adapted to be constructed of a single length of material and in such a manner that a tie may be quickly apd easily formed thereon into a four-in-hand knot.

A still further object of this invention is to provide a necktie holder of this character, which will be simple, practical-and comparatively inexpensive in construction and one that can be manufactured and sold at a low cost.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described and set forth in the claims hereto appended.

In the drawing: i

Figure 1 is a front elevation illustrating a necktie secured to my improved holder.

Figure 2 is a rear elevation of the same,

Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view,

Figure 4- is a perspective view of the tie holder as made in accordance with this invention.

Referring to the drawing, the numeral 5 designates an arcuate tongue looped as at 6 to provide the spaced members 7 The terminals of the arcuate members 7 are bent laterally in opposite directions to provide the horizontally extending spacing arms 8. A vertical tie retaining loop 9 is formed into grally with the terminals of each of the spacing arms 8 and they are arranged at right angles thereto. The loops 9 extend above and below the plane of the spacing arms 8 as is clearly shown in Figure 4.

A horizontal supporting arm 10 is formed integrally with each of the 100 s 9 as at 10', and the arms 10 are arrange in spaced parallel relation with the arms 8 and have their inner ends terminating at a spaced distance apart and bent downwardly as at 11 to provide the attaching members.

A button or stud engaging member 12 is secured to the attaching members 11 and it is located in the rear of and in the plane above the lower end of the arcuate tongue 5.

It will be apparent that the tie holder may be constructe from a single length of relatively stiff material, such as wire, metal, rubber, celluloid, pressed paper, or the like, and is first looped as at 6 to provide the tongue 5, the terminals of the tongue are bent laterally to provide spacingv arms 8;

the arms 8 are curved downwardly and up-' wardly and then extended downwardly to provide the loops 9, the terminals of the loops are bent upwardly and inwardly to provide the spaced parallel supporting arms 10, the terminals of the supporting arms 10 are bent downwardly to provide the attaching members to which the stud engaging member 12 is secured.

A tie designated A first has its ends extended through the loops 9 and across the front side of the tongue 5, and the ends of the tie are then twisted about the tongue and one end is extended under the tongue and through the arms 8 and 10 respectively and then extended upwardly over the arms 8 and down through the knot 13 formed by twisting ends of the tie about the tongue 5 by drawing one end of the tie through the knot and pulling tight, a knot is formed about the tongue 5 and will be urged outwardly in the plane beyond the loops 9 as clearly shown in Figures 1 and 2.

What is claimed is:

A frame upon which a necktie is to be tied before association with a collar consisting of a strand of material having its terminals spaced apart and ofl'set in the same directron, a continuous button-engaging member enclosing and mounted by said terminals; In testimony whereof I affix my signature and said member due to it? wallsdbeing in presence of two Witnesses.
